About me

Welcome to Sue Lovell Counselling relate c.c, MBACP

I specialise in relationship difficulties, including affairs, breakdown in communication, managing loss and change, separation and divorce, distance in relationships and sexual difficulties. I also work with the effects of child abuse, domestic abuse or mental health difficulties on an individual or the couple relationship. These effects can be experienced by both men and women, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. If you are wondering whether my service can help you, please feel free to email me or give me a call. I am happy to discuss your needs with you and answer any queries about counselling.

I offer a non-judgemental, impartial and confidential service, based on more than 20 years' experience working with individuals or couples.

At times of difficulty or distress, counselling offers the opportunity to talk through your situation, understand and express feelings, consider options and choose how to move forward. This might be by identifying ways to cope with a situation, or it may involve taking steps to bring about a positive change.

It can be confusing deciding which counsellor, therapist or organisation would best suit your particular needs. Clients are usually trying to manage a multitude of difficulties when they decide to seek out counselling, and often there are long waiting lists within the NHS or not for profit organisations that offer counselling services. This is where a private practitioner can be of more immediate assistance, as once the decision to seek help has been made, clients do not then want to wait weeks or months to access the service.

Please feel free to check out my website for more information.

I am a Member of BACP and work within its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy (2010).
